Warm Welcome Relaunches in Yate
Yate Town Council is pleased to announce the opening of Warm Welcome 2024/25 for our third year on October 1st 2024.
After feedback from the local community regarding the rising costs of living including heating our homes, the Town Council has again started offering warm and welcoming sessions for people to drop-in and use throughout the colder, winter months.
The sessions are completely free of charge and are in place across four of the Community Venues including Poole Court Foyer, The Pop Inn Café (over 50’s), Yate Heritage Centre and the Armadillo Youth Café & Cinema.
The warm welcome encourages those living and visiting our Town to take rest, engage socially (not mandatory) and keep warm in safe spaces within a few minutes’ walk from Yate Shopping Centre and public transport routes.
The Town Council has chosen these venues in particular to provide the Warm Welcome service due to their accessible facilities including public toilets and free wifi.
Chair of the Yate Ageing Better, Health and Wellbeing Sub-Committee Wendy Tomasin said: “Our Warm Welcome programme is available across our community venues from 1st October 2024 and runs until 31 March 2025. We know how valuable our community venues are with local groups and individuals so we have agreed for a third year to open the doors to those who may just need a friendly face, a seat to take a breath or a space to spend time in freely as the winter months creep in.”
For further information about days and times of our Warm Welcome programme, please contact Yate Town Council on 01454 866506, email us below, or follow us on social media.
